2.13 NAME 104

• –d, – –device

Use tape medium as the source for retrieval of backup image(s). With this

source, FSE restore reads data from FSE medium loaded in the FSE drive

with control device DeviceFile. Additional options – –offset, – –count, and

– –retrieve–to determine how many backup images are read from tape and

whether FSE restore is actually performed.

• DeviceFile

Name of the control device ﬁle for the FSE drive that is used to read backup

image(s) from tape.

• –o, – –offset

Retrieve backup image from medium in the backup FSE media pool and –

if neither of the options – –count and – –retrieve–to is speciﬁed – perform

FSE restore using the retrieved backup image. The argument OffsetNumber

speciﬁes which backup image is retrieved (and possibly used for restore).

This option can only be used in combination with the – –device option.

• OffsetNumber

Offset in the sequence of existing backup images on tape that identiﬁes

the backup image which is to be retrieved. Backup images are counted

backwards from the most recent one: a value of 1 refers to the most recent

backup image, a value of 2 to last but one backup image, and so on.

• –c, – –count

Retrieve one or more backups images and do not perform FSE restore.

Number of backup images to be retrieved is speciﬁed with the argument

CountNumber. If additional options – –retrieve–to DirectoryPath are not

speciﬁed, copy the retrieved backup image(s) to FSE disk buffer and report

target location of the backup image in the FSE disk buffer. This option can

only be used in combination with the – –offset option.

• CountNumber

Number of backup images that are retrieved. Backup images are counted

forward, starting with the backup image referred by OffsetNumber. Value

of CountNumber should therefore not exceed OffsetNumber.
